Oh How Much I....

love my new Canon Rebel T2i.  And trust me they don't have to pay me to say that (though they can if they want to hint hint Canon).  I've had this camera for a whopping 3 weeks now and to say I'm in love might be an understatement.  I take pictures everywhere, every chance I get.

I take pictures when I....

 go outside 

when I babysit 

when I walk the dog 

heck I've even taken pictures on the couch!

This camera is incredibly easy to use, in fact my boyfriend's father (who is totally not tech savvy) was playing with it earlier today and got a few great shots!  It has a ton of features and options and is easy to learn on when you're getting into photography.  I especially love how the screen changes when you change the ISO and Aperture in Live View Mode.

I'm taking a digital photo class in school this Semester so it's even easier to learn all the functions and specifics of the camera.  It doesn't hurt that I can go outside and take pictures all day while saying I'm doing my homework!

Raw(e)

This week's theme for Raw(e) is Smiles and Laughter and the first thing that came to mind was a picture I took of the girls I watch the other day.  They were laying on the floor together and absolutely love getting their picture taken.  Of course if they try and pose for shots they come out looking kind of ridiculous but hey that's a 3 and 4 year old for ya. 

This one I caught in between poses of them just having fun with each other.  

Let me know what you think :)

Planning

School starts on the 7th and I'm ready to rock n' roll.  I'm taking 4 classes: Digital Photography, ASL, Nutrition, and English Comp.  English is online and the rest are night classes that meet once a week for about 3 hours each time.

I bought all my supplies and my three hundred dollar textbooks... Yikes!  Did I mention I'm borrowing one from my friend saving me another 60 dollars!?  It's ridiculous how much they charge us for these things.  Oh well, what can I do about it?

I'm totally excited about my new planner which happens to be covered in, what else?, Elephants.  I'll have to post pictures of my entire organizational set up later this week.  I went cleaning crazy two days ago and have everything set up for classes to start.

I also bought this super neat iPhone app called iStudiez Pro.  It holds all my class, homework and grade information.  It has a nifty calendar and calculates my grades for each individual class as well as my overall GPA.  I'll let you know how all that actually works but for now it seems pretty cool.

In other news, I didn't get to go to Cape Cod :( BUT I am getting my camera on Tuesday.  I'm not getting the T1i anymore, I'm getting the T2i!  I figured for the extra hundred bucks it's totally worth it.  Not that I have a ton of extra money but I am getting my financial aid return in October and that will be a great help.
